Convert a Cloverleaf into a STACK INTERCHANGE in vanilla Cities Skylines - NO MODS - NO DLC

We've all used the cloverleaf, but it's probably not doing the job if you found your way here. Learn how to convert it into a much more efficient stack interchange in an easy to follow tutorial. No mods or DLC are required.

Best Vanilla Stack Interchange in Cities Skylines Tutorial

I've taken the above design and came up with a way to convert the default cloverleaf into this interchange which should be an easy to follow process for newer players.

You're not a Cities Skylines player unless you spend the first hour and most of your budget designing an unnecessarily complicated interchange to funnel sims to the city.

This is, definitely, THE tutorial on interchanges. Vaniilla, no mods, best interchange possible, in a relatively small space, and aesthetically pleasing. Beautiful! Thank you!.

My son sent me the link to this video a few hours ago because I play on an old PS4 I inherited from him when he upgraded. My PS4 is perfect for me but intersections are always a problem. But THIS!!! Lol I followed step by step and I built it! And sims are driving on it! Thank you! You made it so easy !

[OettesCities]

Certainly one of the best tutorials I've seen so far...
Very simply and factually explained...
Well done! 👍👍

I’m on console, and I’ve only been able to find a lot of PC players with tips and this is awesome, thank you so much!

[karadavidson]

This was great! I followed along and built my very own stack interchange in my game. I was struggling with traffic in a connection between two highways, and this got things flowing nicely. Thank you!

Bit of proper lane maths and it works a dream, I usually put the lowest level as an underpass so its not as high on the top.

I just spent half an hour of my life in this, dont regret it.

I’ve built this 4 times now and got it down to just about speed running it in less than 10 minutes. Great tutorial for console

[SilentxDiamond]

After trying this 4 times back to back because i had bridges improperly aligned i finally got it and can say its working like a charm on PS5

[SimplyAdia]

This is pretty awesome! It makes me confident that I could do this. I always use the in game interchanges 😅

One thing I like about making custom interchanges is building them on challenging terrain and pulling it off.

Ah that looks amazing! KINDA has me wanting to snuggle up on the couch and d/l cities on the console again

[jeffrow]

I spent a hour and a half trying to make this. It failed when I was changing direction of the roads. Everything was in place and looked great but the middle road that you set at a height of 6, wouldn’t allow me to change direction. I highly recommend making the roads in the right direction when you are building it

Love your content mate! As a YouTuber myself, when I’m not making videos I love to relax and play Skylines. (And watch MtM of course!) Always loved a wee city builder back to the maxis days of sim city. In fact, probably before that!
Do you remember the Snes version?
Anyway, wanted to pass on my thanks for this tip and as a console player myself, seeing vanilla builds really helps me a lot! 👍🏻🙏

[Kangamoos]

It's such a lovely looking interchange!

[zomgitsveronica]

It took me almost 2 hours but I finally did it! The hardest part for some reason was getting the first square right, my game didn’t want to make a 16 unit square line up with my highways for some reason, and I would get very far on an incorrectly sized square. In any case thank you for sharing I hope it helps my traffic jam coming from the highway

[Bexx]

Thank you Sir for such a detailed and foolproof tutorial. Going to build this tomorrow when my new city gets its first highway interchange!

[kungfo]

One of my favorite interchange to use!

[marinavilleneuve]

This was the best tutorial! Made it so much easier to do especially for console player! Thank you!
